Winslow 4th of July Celebration Gets Bigger and Better Each Year

With plenty of music, food, fun and games, the town of Winslow knows how to celebrate the 4th of July.

“It’s for the community, it’s for the kids, it’s for the veterans, it’s for America, it’s fun,” says celebration volunteer Gail Poulin.

The big perk of the annual Winslow Family Fourth of July Celebration? Free entertainment.

“Celebrating Independence Day is sort of fading throughout the area and let’s say a family wants to go to a fair or something and it costs ten dollars each to get in,” starts Kevin Douglass, celebration Chairman. “We don’t want that to happen here. We want this to be a legitimate community event where it’s anybody can come here, no matter what their pay scale is.”

Volunteers work year round to ensure this event gets bigger and better for the community – this year, they’ve attracted a big country act – John Michael Montgomery.

“We’re here for the country music today, we are country music fans,” says Billie-Jo, who is here with family members.
